What Kind Of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product And Why?

What is a institution?

A institution is a company that disperses media product for audience consumption.

Where would institution disperse a film

product?

A film would go to cinemas either nationally or  internationally. However, after being a the cinema for a while it would then get dispersed shops to sell DVDs. 

One of the institution I would distribute my film opening is 'Lionsgate'. 

Lionsgate is one of the successful independent studios. I chose this insitution, Lionsgate, this is because Lionsgate has produced more thriller movies, which is the genre we have chosen. 

Vithusiya: Evaluation 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression fromit to the full product?

Well with the preliminary task we had only just found out the names of different camera shots so when going into making the preliminary task we just wanted to use as many different shots as possible and sort of make it look all right along the way, we were also very eager to start filming so we did sort of rush writing the storyboard. 

However we did learn from this when it came to our main production as in stead of getting straight into creating the storyboard, we started planning different ideas for the story line as we wanted it to be the strong point of our movie and we also started thinking of similar movies, which is related to these genre, which is crime thriller. 

Krupa and Vithusiya: Evaluation 5

How did you attract your Audiences?

  

The colour if the poster of our film opening contains black, gold, red and white.

The colour black connotes danger, evilness, darkness, which all these are negatives point of views, which means this shows that this film opening is related towards negativity and danger.

The colour gold suggests power. This means the film opening is to do with power and jealousy. The colour red signifies blood and danger which implies that the film opening is about murder and loads of blood being shed. The colour white suggest innocent which can also mean that someone innocent might have been murdered due to some problems.

We created a poster of our film opening for marketing strategy. The image above shows the person lying down on the floor, where her expression is blank as she is dead. This suggest that she was killed brutally, as we can see from the blur images of the person in the background.

We have chosen the location of a mysterious road because stereotypical it is said that people are killed in an unknown road where there are less people, so this could connote that puja might be walking through this unknown road and when was killed.

This film product will attract our main audiences, which are teenagers and young adults, this is because mainly of our genre, which is crime thriller. This is aimed at all classes and genre, because the characters in the film are from different backgrounds and experience extraordinary events which happens in everyday life. I think due to its content and independence it's probably  a film you're most likely to see more than once, this is because is similar as the ordinary life, which this makes the audience attracted, so they can see and know what happens in real life.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product? 

During the creation of my media product, an opening sequence i've learnt a great deal about technologies and they have helped and improved my media product.

1)  CAmera

This was the most important part of technology, which we was using. At first I wasn’t sure on how to use the camera, because I DIDN'T have experience with cameras before, because of this I was STRUGGLING a bit at the beginning. Then later I got time for using it and learnt techniques, which at the end by practicing with my camera I CONFIDENTIALLY used it well. 

2)    photoshop

photoshop is one piece of software that we tried using to complete our production logo. we found this quite tricky, this means i found photoshop extremely hard compared to other objects. therefore, at the as a group we have made our production log in final cut.

Vithusiya: Evaluation 4

In this case as the stereotype all our characters are playing a good job, which hare officers, 

Introduction of the villain

Marketing our Film

How can we market our film?

To market our Film, we can market it in different ways, so we will be able to gain more viewers and audiences through this. 

1) Facebook

Facebook is one of the most popular social media, which is very good for marketing and advertising our movie. This sis because there are 890 million people creating and signing into Facebook, which most of the people use Facebook daily. 

2) Twitter 

The next way to market it can be Twitter, this is because by twitting the information will spread very quickly around the world, which is not only done by the famous people, but it also can be done by the beginners and other ordinary people too.

3) Instagram

The third popular social media, which is useful for marketing is Instagram. This can be a good way too, this is because by uploading pictures, with different type of effects you can attract more audiences.

4) Snapchat

The last social media which I'm going to talk about is Snapchat. Snapchat is thelatest social media, which not mostly used by many people around the world. This because it's a lot simpler, than the other social media to use; you can share to everyone, by taking pictures, drawing, writing, emojis, by calling, video calls and also, by recording your voice. 

Camera Angles

Camera Angles

Close up 

A close up is a shot that focuses very closely on the face or an object, which sometimes the background is blurred, because to focus on the close up shot; which this gives importance to the scene or action.

Extreme Close up

An extreme close up is similar to close up, but this is more closer than the close up. By this I mean that you can only see a certain or specific part only, which is extremely close or focused. For example, a human's face is the close up and the extreme close up can be the eyes.

Panoramic Shot

A panoramic shot is a shot of couple of scenery or an environment photographs that are together, but they are taken separately, then later put them together to create a large panoramic shot. This shot is mainly used to show the overall of the scene or the setting. 

Long Shot

A long shot is when objects and people can be fit in the scene, without any editing and cutting; which this means in this scene you will be able to see not only one action, but other actions, as well. For example, you can also see the actions in the background.

Extreme Long Shot

An extreme long shot is same as the long shot, but is more in detailed. This is usually used to show the location or the setting in detail and also to show where the scene has been set in. Sometimes, they also use this shot to create pressure and tension in the scene.

Middle Shot

Middle shot is when it shows a figure from the waist and upwards, this sometimes the background is blurred and also sometimes, the backgrounds gives only a minimum of detail.

Birds eye view

Birds eye view when shows an overall of the scene, this is normally take in a very high level; which this will make the objects and people smaller, than the normal size; to create this view they use a helicopter.

High Angle Shot

A high angle shot is same as the bird eye view, but instead of the helicopter the crane is used. This is mainly used to give an effect to the audience, to show that the object or the person is powerless. 

Low Angle Shot

Low angle shots are mainly filmed near the ground level, this is mainly used to show to the audience that the person or the object has power.

Point of View 

Point of view shots are mainly taken as a view of the audience, which means it feels like an experience by the the audience. This is  a shot where you make the audience feel that they are part of the film, which this effect will make the audience be engaged with the film.

Oblique Shot

Oblique shot is when the camera angle is tilt,, which this is mainly used to confuse the audiences, and to make confusions or disruptions. This shot is mainly used in dangerous scenes, disaster scenes, scary scenes, action scenes and many other. In addition, this shot is similar to the point of view shot too, this is because the audience will feel the same experience, which means the audience feel that they are the part of the film, same as the the oblique shot. 

Over the Shoulder the Shot

The over the shoulder shot it makes the audience feel like that the person or the object is in from of them, which the person or the object it had been watched or followed by the audience. This effect is also to engage the audience in the movie.

Ethnicity

Ethnicity

Ethnicity is a way where people gets described in national or cultural traditions. Many films have shown different ethnicity in different places all around the world. However In some films ethnicity is used to show stereotype group of people to the audience by the way people have been seeing them since years. This knowledge gain from films and real life helps us identify the different ethical groups. 

Genre research

Genre research update 

the film genre me and my group have chosen is crime drama. the reason behind this is that most of the crime mostly take place when the victim is alone or while it is dark, and due to this it is easier for us to shoot as it gets dark easily. another reason i have we decided to choose this as we wanted to keep it different from out classmates as well most people had voted for the crime drama. The main reason behind this drama was that it builds lots of tension n the opening of the film sequence so this will keep our audience engaged as well as will get to know our group editing skills with the fast-pace editing, and selecting the right actors as well as using the suitable lighting. 

The conventions that i have identified are that there is a 

key text genres infulenced our initial ideas by showing the character doing their work and also of a sudden some incident takes place, this will make the audience wonder what happened and also make them want to watch more to find out what has happened to the character.

in our opening we will use the theme of mtystery revenge death and crime with very low dim lighting to create 

final cut

This is our final cut. I hope you enjoy.

Iconography and conventions

Iconography and conventions.

What images come to mind when thinking about your genre?

Our genre is crime, by thinking about our genre, the main images which come in my mind are danger, crime scenes, violence, actions, mystery, seriousness, darkness, evil and blood. 

By looking at my imagination, you can see that our genre is not colourful, funny and peaceful, but full of questions, doubts and scariness.

Overall, I can say that this genre, which is crime, is more suitable and mostly liked by adults and sometimes teenagers. But, this crime genre it is not suitable for children.

Pitch

Plan for script

The reason of the kidnapper doing this, because the young teenager's father stole all the main stuff, such as money, houses, lands from the kidnapper, which now the kidnapper is trying t o get it back.

Target Audience

Target Audience For A Crime Thriller

Crime thrillers are mainly targeted to an older audience, by this I mean adults, the age 25 and over, this is because in Crime Thrillers, you can find and hear hard vocabularies, which younger audience won.t be able to understand. In addition, in Crime Thrillers there also be powerful scenes, which children are not able to watch, such us murder scenes, blood scenes and many other. In addition, this is mainly preferred by male audiences.

Crime Drama Target Audience

Crime drama is preferred by males and females, but mainly by males, this is because in Crime dramas, you can find actresses who are very attracted, which this will make the male audiences to engage more.
In addition, the age is usually 15 to 40. Crime dramas are not suitable for older audiences, this is because is more modern, which it does not suit the age of 40 and over.

Thriller Target Audience

Thriller films are mainly suitable to young adults, this is because they find the script interesting and it is more modern, which this attracts them. Thriller movies are more mysterious as well, which this attracts more the younger audience. Mostly, we can say that Thrillers movies specifically are more attracted to 15 to 21 year olds. In addition, Thriller movies are attracted by both gender, males and females. Males are interested this is because there is lots of actions. Then, females are attracted to thriller because they like to watch scripts and movies where they ask lots of actions in their mind.
